Injuries have been a major problem for Minnesota and some of its key players in recent seasons, but the Timberwolves have experienced a clean bill of health early in 2021-22. That’s not the case for New Orleans, which listed three players on its Saturday injury report.
Josh Hart (right quadriceps tendinosis) and Daulton Hommes (right peroneal soreness) are doubtful to play tonight at Minnesota (7 p.m., Bally Sports New Orleans, 100.3 FM). Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) remains out for the Pelicans. Hart was sidelined Friday at Chicago, replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Herbert Jones.
